Nick Knapp, the Northwestern basketball guard who is suing the university and Athletic Director Rick Taylor for declaring him medically ineligible to compete, will play for an Athletes in Action team scheduled to tour Australia from Aug. 5-23.

Terry Knapp, father of the former Peoria Woodruff star who suffered a cardiac arrest in September, 1994, when he was a high school senior, has signed an insurance waiver, absolving AIA of liability.

In other college basketball news, forward Matt Moran, who dropped out of Northwestern for personal reasons in January after averaging 11.6 points and 7.2 rebounds as a freshman, has made a commitment to play at Bradley, starting in 1997-98. And 6-8 Rich Beyers, who led Shelbyville to the Class A state title last March as a junior, says he plans to attend Illinois.
